If he was a director at a small tech company and already has a specialization in logistics, he should absolutely be looking at this as a career. There's actually a trajectory for him.

I've been let go from two jobs in the last 20 years.

After the first one I sold everything I owned and moved to Costa Rica for a year and worked at an "offshore" online sports book with a bunch of hot chicks from all over the world. Told myself the only place I'd move back to in the United States was Denver/Boulder because of the music scene. Got a job offer to underwrite mortgages for Wells Fargo in Denver after 11 months.

After the second time, when the bottom fell out of the mortgage lending business during the 2008 financial crisis, I started a weed business when the market opened up in Denver in 2009. Made a fortune and sold out in 2017.

Moral to the story: When one door closes, another opens. You'll be fine TM. You'll likely end up in a spot/situation that was way better than the one you just left. Life is funny that way.

Tons of places hiring right now. Huge labor shortage, at least here in metro Phoenix. If you were ever going to be let go from a job, this is about as good a time as I can ever recall.

2. How many months emergency funds do you have?

3. What specifically have you done in Logistics?

4. Do you have a cat named Fuskers?

Drag the George Brett statue in front of the office building and wait for them to come out.

Shit, if you like manufacturing and want to stay in Kansas City, I'm hiring.

1. Stop freaking out. You weren't gonna have that job forever.

2. Go apply for unemployment right now. Easy to get, and that is your money. Take it.

3. Use that money to support yourself while you search for another job.

4. You will find another job. You have plenty of work experience, and everyone is hiring right now. Get on any of the job sites and start searching.

Now get off CP and do what I said. You're wasting time on here.

That was a very solid point. Now that he doesn't have insurance, I wouldn't recommend him getting his ass kicked in front of the GB statue.

Just trying to make you laugh...

One door shut, another opens. If you have a network to help you move on, great. Maybe your old company even has resources. Also the web is a great way to find openings these days, when you're thinking clearly again. Best of luck.

I didn’t see that post when I posted.

I agree and on your comments. Good for Billay.

I guess I’m more of a people person bc that job sounds terrible to me. Sounds like a ton of excel reports
[Reply]

Not to make light of losing a job, because that would really suck and all if that's really the case.... but the dynamic of people treating billay like a juvenile internet troll who actually would come off as completely clueless on what to do when losing a job, combined with "I'm an IT Director" is kind of amusing.

Sounds like you have a lot of experience and skills tm.
Go get a job, bud.
